Went up to inspect the flue today (only have had maybe five fires so far the season) and noticed a gloss like sheen of cresote. Last winter burned all season with no cap and had your usual build up but nothing glossy.So my question is....is the cap causing the smoke to slow down just enough to cote the flue???? I still have a strong draft, just doesnt make sense that a cap would cause the glossy build up ?
cap-S.S with expanadable steal sides
wood-all seasoned-12-20 months
stove-VC vigilant with burn temp of 550 in damper down mode
Any help would be appreciated
